ETEC® Envision One™
ETEC® DESKTOP Family
Envision One™
The number one in its class.
The ETEC EnvisionOne™ is a desktop continuous DLP 3D printer for the rapid production of strong, fully-isotropic end-use parts.
Continuous 3D Printing
Powered by Light.
The ETEC EnvisionOne is a powerful desktop 3D printer that features patented cDLM (continuous digital light manufacturing) technology which enables breakneck print speeds with little to no delay between layers. With a wide range of compatible materials, simple workflow software, and a precision light engineer, the EnvisionOne delivers exceptional speed, print resolution, surface finish, and part mechanical properties.
Key Features
cDLM Technology
The continuous digital light manufacturing technology enables high-volume and scalable part production.
Long-chain Polymer Chemistry
The chemistry of polymers used with Envision One produces parts with exceptional part strength & quality.
Industrial DLP Chips & Optical Train
EnvisionOne has industrial DLP chips integrated and a custom-designed optical train to enable high contrast and minimal distortion for the projected picture.
Fast Printing
30% faster than competing systems and 10x faster than desktop SLA.
Patented Material Tray
Ensures that the 3D printing process happens on a flat surface.
EnvisionONE RP Intuitive Software
Automated support generation, optimized part orientation and print profiles for each material available.
Benefits
Faster and reliable parts.
The cDLM process allows for continuous printing without the need to peel each layer off the film after it is polymerized.
A ‘dead zone’ is formed by flowing a thin layer of oxygen above the film of the printing bed. Within this ‘dead zone’, the polymerization process is inhibited ensuring the layer being printed adheres to the layer above and not the printing bed film. This ‘dead zone’ is what enables continuous printing, where the build plate can continually move in the Z-axis, leading to faster, more reliable prints.
Unbeatable part performance
Parts that are manufactured via cDLM are made up of entangled long-chain polymers, thus resulting in fully isotropic parts, something that cannot be achieved via the FDM process. To create the long-chain polymers, printers must process highly viscous resins which require great power to polymerize. These resins cannot be jetted (PolyJet) and would take too long to process with vector-based polymerization methods such as the SLA.
High-resolution printing
The EnvisionOne cDLM is known to produce high-resolution parts. It uses DLP chips instead of cheaper consumable grade chips and has a custom-designed optical train. These enable high contrast and minimal distortion for the projected picture which results in accuracy down to the micro-level. The cDLM domeless printing process eliminates the “dome” effect to deliver incredible Z accuracy.
Envision One RP software streamlines the entire fabrication process
Envision One RP software automates support generation and part orientation, while an integrated file repair tool patches meshes and readies the parts for print. Cloud software allows users to remotely manage the system, send jobs to multiple printers and monitor job progress, while over-the-air software and firmware updates ensure that users have access to the most up-to-date tools and processes.
